ICLUBcentral is pleased to announce
the simultaneous release of Stock Analyst 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, available as
downloads though the Stock Analyst auto-updater.
Three major improvements have been made in version 3.2.1 of
Stock Analyst. Here's what's new:
- The "Save As" command now allows you to save multiple versions of your data
- Your yearly data no longer shifts when updating from OPS
- An updated sample database is included with new installations
- The PDF formatted user's manual has been completely revised and updated
Version 3.2.2 is a small update, and fixes a error which
caused the version number to display incorrectly in the Help
menu. After running the auto-updater, select Help from the
menu, then About Stock Analyst. Your version number is
displayed on this screen, which should be 3.2.2 after
updating.
To update version 3.2 of Stock Analyst to version 3.2.2, you
may use the auto-updater that is built into the program. To
launch the auto-updater, first make sure that you're
connected to the Internet, and then select Help from the
menu, then Check for Updates. The auto-updater will start
and automatically download and install the both 3.2.1 and
3.2.2. Just follow the instructions as they are presented on
your screen. (The update files are quite large, so be
patient if you're connected to the Internet using a dial-up
connection.)
See the complete list of features and changes, or view the
readme.doc file installed in the program's folder after the
update is installed.
Want to learn how to streamline your analysis? Purchase an newly-updated Stock Analyst Manual from the ICLUB Store. It's the perfect compliment to the 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 functionality.
If you have any problems accessing or installing the version
3.2.1 & 3.2.2 updates, please contact Customer Support.
That
new voice you hear on the tech support line belongs to John Strickland.
John joins the ICLUBcentral team after successful stints in the
technical support departments at both Vista Higher Learning and
Symantec. After leading his team to victory in the National High School
Chess Championship, he spent two years at the University of Oregon
before leaving to pursue employment.
John
also has the distinction of having supported himself for an entire year
solely through online poker. Since his hiring, Vegas has laid down 5-2
odds that the entire ICLUBcentral staff will slowly disintegrate into
degenerate gamblers.
Rounding
out our engineering department is Sally An, our new software engineer.
Sally is originally from China, but has lived in Boston for six years,
the first four of which were spent studying computer science at Tufts
University.
Sally
worked for Livedata for nine months before joining us here in
Cambridge. She enjoys playing tennis, and when she's not in the office
you can probably find her walking along one of her favorite footpaths
around the Charles River.

THE LATEST NEWS ON
INVESTING SOFTWARE BUILT BY ICLUBCENTRAL INC.
Summary
Now is your chance to own the book that set the standard for fundamental investing methodology -- Ellis Traub's Take Stock.
Who says you have to be a
professional, or consult one, to consistently earn money in the stock
market? If you're tired of paying brokers high commissions for middling
results, let Take Stock guide you through the investing jungle and dispell the myths about successful investing.
In his early 40's, author Ellis Traub
lost virtually everything to chasing "hot" stocks. Scared out of the
market until his retirment, he would have repeated his earlier mistakes
and frittered away his pension had he not embraced fundamental investing methodology, which he continues to share with standing-room-only audiences around the country. (Take Stock, ICLUBcentral's powerful stock screener, was originally developed by Ellis's software company, Investware.)
Comprehensive yet easy to understand,Take Stock
starts with the basics -- everything from learning financial
terminology to basic price evaluation. You'll learn how to make your
own growth and value projections, and how to screen for stocks that are
right for your portfolio. But even more experienced investors can benefit from reading Take Stock. Learn how to evaluate company quality through technamental interpretation. Take Stock even explains in simple no-nonsense language the proper way to manage and diversify your portfolio.
What does the investing community have to say?
"Ellis Traub has written an
investment guide that will interest all investors...If you are trying
to build a long-term portfolio made up of high-quality stocks with
strong growth characteristics, this book can help you do it."
--Stephen Sanborn, Director of Research, Value Line Publishing, Inc.
"Ellis Traub is a treasured resource for and among long-term investors."
--Candace King, Financial Columnist
The only thing better than the valuable investing information in Take Stock is getting it for 25% off the list price. Buy your copy from the ICLUB store now for only $14.99!
ICLUBcentral ended support for Club Accounting version 2 on last Monday, October 16, 2006. By retiring this outdated software, we're now able to focus on continuously improving Club Accounting 3 and Club Accounting Online -- the most popular investment club accounting programs on the planet.
Since Club Accounting 2 has officially reached the end of its life, ICLUBcentral will NOT be producing 2006 Tax Printers for Club Accounting 2. 2006 Tax Printers will ONLY be available for Club Accounting 3 and Club Accounting Online.
If you or your investment club hasn't already done so, be sure to upgrade to Club Accounting 3 or Club Accounting Online now. Otherwise, you'll be left without support during the most frustrating and difficult time of the year -- Tax Season.
Have you already upgraded? Would you like to learn the ins and outs of the world's most popular investment club accounting software? Purchase one of our newly-updated manuals for Club Accounting 3 or for Club Accounting Online.
Need an extra license for your co-treasurer? Give them a fully-operational copy of Club Accounting 3 at a heavily discounted rate -- call us at 617-661-CLUB.
If you have any questions regarding ICLUBcentral's end of support for Club Accounting 2, please contact our technical support team.

THE LATEST NEWS ON
INVESTING SOFTWARE BUILT BY ICLUBCENTRAL INC.
Summary
It's that time of year again --
ICLUBcentral's Club Tax Printers for 2006 will be available for
pre-sale later this month. The Club Tax Printers make it a snap to
prepare your club's required IRS filings -- all from within your club
accounting software. Hiring an accountant or tax preparer to complete
your forms would cost hundreds of dollars, so there's no easier or quicker way to prepare your required tax filings than by using ICLUBcentral's Club Tax Printers.
For 2006, Club Tax Printers are ONLY
being produced for Club Accounting 3.1 and Club Accounting Online
(myiclub.com), so if you haven't already updated your accounting
software, do it now before Tax Season hits!
As always, ICLUBcentral Club Tax
Printers will be available for both federal and several state returns.
For 2006, we're pleased to offer software for three new states -- Colorado, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania
join Arizona, California, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Missouri and New York as states supported by ICLUBcentral's State Club
Tax Printers.
Because it's only November, all Tax
Printer programs can only produce draft forms, which cannot be used to
file with the IRS or your state agency. However, the software features
an auto-updater, which will automatically download and install the
final forms after they are approved by the IRS. Then, you can quickly
print the final tax documents for your club.
So, why buy your Tax Printer software now? Because you'll receive special early bird pricing by ordering before December 31, 2006.
So if you're a treasurer, get approval at your next club meeting to
pre-order your club's Tax Printers, and stay tuned to your email inbox
and the ICLUBcentral homepage for pre-sale availabilty and pricing.
How Do I Close My Books?
by Daniel R. Abraham, Director of Technical Support
Strictly speaking, "closing the
books" is a misnomer. You don't have to put everything on hold while
you finish out last year's transactions. You can continue to record
next year's transactions while finishing this year's transactions in
preparation for filing the partnership tax return.
A few warnings and reminders to start:
- If you are still using Club Accounting versions 1 or 2, you must move to Club Accounting 3.1 (CA3.1) or Club Accounting Online (CAO) to run your taxes.
- Do
not enter ANY transactions on 12/31 except the valuation. No deposits,
no sales...nothing. If the broker or bank say the transaction is on the
31st, move it to the 30th in the software.
- If
you can't make it on time, you can ask the IRS for an extension. Visit
www.irs.gov for more information. The partnership return is due on
April 15th.
- Want to know how Club Accounting determines how to fill out the form? Check our support page.
You will not be able to finish processing the year's transactions until...(Continue reading at iclub.com)
Since releasing Ellis Traub's Take Stock
for purchase two weeks ago, copies have been flying off the shelves. In
fact, we've sold so many that we're soon going to have to print a new
run. Until then, we're able to offer the remaining copies of Take Stock
at the low price of $14.99 -- that's 25% off the list price -- but only while supplies last.
What is the investing community saying about Take Stock?
"Ellis Traub has written an
investment guide that will interest all investors...If you are trying
to build a long-term portfolio made up of high-quality stocks with
strong growth characteristics, this book can help you do it."
--Stephen Sanborn, Director of Research, Value Line Publishing, Inc.
"Ellis Traub is a treasured resource for and among long-term investors."
--Candace King, Financial Columnist
Learn how to avoid the pitfalls of Wall Street and find success in the stock market -- purchase your copy of Take Stock today!

club? Are you teaching a class at an upcoming meeting or event? Do you

THE LATEST NEWS ON
INVESTING SOFTWARE BUILT BY ICLUBCENTRAL INC.
Summary
The 2006 Club Tax Printers for both Federal and State
returns are now available for pre-order from the
ICLUBcentral store. In just eight clicks of your mouse, you
can easily and accurately complete the necessary IRS forms
for your investment club -- all without hiring an outside
accountant or tax preparer. There's no easier or quicker way
to handle Tax Season than with ICLUBcentral's Club Tax
Printers.
The 2006 software requires either Club Accounting 3.1 and a valid Club Accounting Maintenance subscription, or a current subscription to Club Accounting Online at myiclub.com.
To prepare for closing your books, make sure you've upgraded
to CA 3.1 and that your Club Accounting Maintenance
subscription is up-to-date and active, or that your
subscription Club Accounting Online at myiclub.com is
current.
In addition to the Federal Club Tax Printer program, and
State Club Tax Printer are available this year for eleven
states (Arizona, California, Georgia, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri and New York -- and, new for 2006 --
Colorado, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania).
Users of Club Accounting 3.1 should note that once
installed, the Tax Printers appear as options on the CA 3.1
file menu; just select the Taxes menu and begin the process
of generating your club's forms.
Please note: When first installed, the tax printers
include draft forms which cannot be used to file with the
IRS or your state agency. However, the CA 3.1 tax printers
feature an auto-updater, which will automatically download
and install the final forms when they are released. This
will allow you to make sure that your forms are properly
completed while we wait for final release of forms sometime
in January, and then you can quickly print the final
documents for your club.
The Tax Printers for Club Accounting Online will also be
first released using draft forms. These will be updated
automatically with final forms as soon as they become
available.
When you order the Club Tax Printers for Club Accounting
Online, log in to your club's web site, click the Taxes tab,
and follow the link to purchase the Club Tax Printer. This
will ensure that your purchase is linked to the correct club
and that you purchase the right Club Tax Printer for Club
Accounting Online.
Why buy your Tax Printer software now? Because you'll
receive special early bird pricing by ordering before
December 31, 2006. If you're a treasurer, get approval at
your next club meeting to pre-order the software, and lock
in the lowest prices available anywhere for your club's 2006
Federal and State Tax Printers. To pre-order, or learn about
available discounts and pricing, visit the Taxes page at
